This was such a helpful video thank you sm! 🥰 Edit: I also forgot to ask what series and size wicks you use for your 1x and 2x wicked candles please? 😊
I'd definitely love to see more candle making videos! I think it would be super helpful to see how you do a formula for a candle that has multiple scents vs just one. Also, how strong are fragrance oils in their 'natural' state? I love candles but I usually can't buy them because they smell too strong. It is part of why I'd like to learn to make candles. Buying an unscented candle is boring so I don't like that as the solution. I still want it to have scent, I just want it suuuuuper light and not overpowering. And that seems really hard to find. I get headaches really easily from scents, even if they are natural. I am very sensitive. Any - long winded way of saying I am not sure I would be able to be a candle maker if I wouldn't be able to handle being around the fragrance oils.
As another tip to avoid being scammed for in-person market events, if the location is in a business/in the parking lot of a business, I have contacted the business directly to check the validity before.
@@fromhumblebeginnings7798 I can’t even get these off the jar unless I have a heat gun pointed to it on high and work at it with a flat metal spoon to pull it off! They won’t come off on 175 degrees in the oven either when I’m melting down to re use jars to test with!
Thank you for answering my question! Also, I recently ordered from Leapin Lizard and was very impressed with the quality too.
i really enjoy watching your videos! Keep it going!

Six minutes before you read the first question I’ll never get back

Where is that rack from you put the melter on?
Linking it in my description now!!
I was thinking about switching to the hot glue gun too!
I don't understand how hot glue keeps the wick in place when it melts with heat, especially when the flame gets closer to the bottom? Thanks!
hot glue has a very high melt point. there are bigger issues at hand if a candle gets hot enough to melt it.
@@abscentaroma Thank you for the info!!
